What we said about it:

Speeds were very respectable. While I wasn’t able to get anything near the theoretical 54Mbit/sec of 802.11g (which is the case for most devices, anyway), I was able to transfer a 258MB file in 104 seconds (1 minute, 44 seconds), compared to just over 13 minutes over a 802.11b connection. This equates to a transfer rate of approximately 2.48 MBytes/sec at 802.11g as opposed to approximately 350 KBytes/sec over 802.11b.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the Buffalo wireless card: while it’s still a bulkier solution than a built-in wireless card, if your laptop has no wireless (or has only 802.11b), this makes for an excellent addition to it. The performance, ease of setup and versatility (not to mention improved range) make this a worthwhile product for today’s road warrior.

What we said about it:

This Buffalo AirStation is a very solid unit that performs as expected, delivering a good bang for the buck. I have been unable to crash it using BitTorrent, I have not had any difficulties connecting to it using a 802.11b card in a VAIO laptop, a 802.11g card (Intel 2200BG) in a ECS laptop, a PocketPC and a desktop computer using a USB 802.11g card, and I have had no trouble with the unit when I cut power to it and forced it to reboot. I have no hesitation recommending this device to someone who is looking to build a wireless network in their home and not get into all the technical mumbo-jumbo to do it.
